RMS Families,
Mrs. Croy and I are excited to share that Ms. Lisa Zielenske will be joining our DogPack family as our next Assistant Principal beginning with the 2026–2027 school year.

Ms. Zielenske brings 15 years of experience in education. She’s a respected teacher leader who expertly balances high expectations and genuine care for all. Her decisions are guided by what is best for students.  

Ms. Zielenske has shared how excited she is to join the RMS family and is looking forward to meeting our students, staff, and families in the near future.

Please join us in welcoming Ms. Zielenske to Russell Middle School—we are confident she will be a wonderful addition to our team.

With love,
Meridith Wages Peck & Hannah Croy
